Its charming print of black feathers floating over a moody sea of green and blue will take the other guests on a flight of delight, while its notched, wrap collar, 3/4 length sleeves, wide patent belt, and full skirt make for a silhouette so stunning, it simply begs to be put on display. We suggest donning this frock with seamed stockings, velvet pumps, and a hair piece of bright plumes for a cocktail look that others will surely 'flock' to.

"This house was Uh-Mazing!!!! I can't say enough good things about it. The location, perfect! The house, perfect! The owner, Shelley, PERFECT!! So nice and she had everything in the house so organized! The themed rooms are amazing. The hot tub and the pool were great. After spending a long day at the parks and come home to your own private hot tub was fabulous!!! I will definitely tell all my friend about this house and I hope to re-visit soon! Thanks!!"Guest: Joy Date of Stay: January 2015 Review Submitted: January 13, 2015View listing
"My wife and I took our 8 year old granddaughter on her first overnight with us and this couldn't have been a better location. There is a much or as little to do as one wants, and this home is so comfy that we spent a lot of time down on the carpet playing games. Be sure to try Pizza Amore; so much more than a pizza place."Guest: Thomas Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: August 5, 2015View listing
"I was delighted to spend two weeks at this breathtaking villa, extraordinary for its beauty of location and place as well as its graciousness, elegance, spaciousness and ease. The villa's beautiful garden and immediate surroundings offer a singular kind of quiet and beauty I've not experienced before; proximity to incredible vistas and wonderful towns (including hikes, beaches, easy train to Lisbon) create unique possibilities of exploration each day. The villa's interior is handsome and airy, enhanced with beautiful (and unimposing) artworks resonating with the culture of the country. The lovely and excellently maintained kitchen (a pleasure to cook in), dining room, family room, reading rooms, bathrooms and bedrooms convey the energy of a house much loved and cared for. I highly recommend this villa for couples, families, writing groups, colleagues, friends - the Quinta's remarkable, brilliant architecture (inside and out) allows for individual privacy while easily promoting collaboration and togetherness. The owner was accommodating, helpful and reachable throughout my stay - while there was no reason to request assistance, I was in excellent hands throughout. I hope very much to return!"Guest: Marjorie Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: August 25, 2015View listing
"We spent several days here for our Honeymoon and it was the perfect spot for us. Quiet, secluded, and it has a wonderful view from the front porch. Plenty of hiking and exploration on the island. Only a short trip from Seattle, so easy to explore there as well. We highly recommend this charming little cottage for anyone wanting to get away unplug for a little while, and relax."Guest: John M.

text: Boroughbridge Camping and Caravanning Club Site (247 reviews) from £6.30 to £10.65 Per person/night Contact Us Book It Images Video Map Select Section Overview Top site for dogs Top site for walking Located on the River Ure, this campsite is a great spot for walking or visiting nearby York. Our pretty Boroughbridge Club campsite in north Yorkshire, just off the A1, is a great stop over site for those traveling up or down the country. Equally, its location close the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors National Parks makes it a good base for those wanting to explore Yorkshire's many attractions. The River Ure borders the campsite and provides somewhere to relax and watch the world float by. The campsite benefits from recently refurbished facilities, it also has a well-stocked shop and a large area for ball games. There are a number of walking opportunities from site. The old town of Boroughbridge is within walking distance. There are a circular walks too, or you can enjoy a stroll along the river and to Ripon. The delightful Harrogate – great for shopping and Betty's Tearoom – and the city of York – with its famous minster and the Jorvik Viking Centre – are a drive away while Fountains Abbey, Studley Royall and Newby Hall make interesting days out. Self-catering accommodation is available at this site. (Please note that, although we welcome dogs on this site, in the interest of all guests we do not permit pets to stay within the self-catering properties). Available to buy are stunning holiday caravans and lodges. Visit the Club Holiday Homes website to find out more or call 02477 983801. Worth Noting Some all-weather all-service pitches available. There may be restrictions on the availability of pitches and use of awnings due to the possibility of flooding, seek advice from the Holiday Site Manager. Towcars to stay on Site overnight. WiFi 100% coverage cannot be guaranteed due to rural location, weather conditions and changing flora. These can cause variable signal strength. Hotspots are available. Prices. Eat Local There is a good Butcher, Greenwood's, in Boroughbridge along with a greengrocer who sells local produce. A Farm Shop is on the Ripon Road.

Kevin and Denise Chapman (Club Member) stayed Sep 2015 This review is for Boroughbridge On arrival we were disappointed with the welcome and service received. The attendant on duty was very abrupt and unprepared. The first pitch allocated, he decided was unsuitable and preceded to offer another, which considering our needs with a VW camper and awning was sloping and again unsuitable. On our request he finally offered an alternative rather ungraciously (not the helpful camp attitude we have experienced in the past from other clubsites). The hookup for our pitch being so far away we had to use an extension lead to our 12 metre lead which we felt to be a safety issue. During the week on speaking to others campers they too had not received a friendly welcome. Also only one light was working in the first field which was by the steps and the far pitches were in darkness - difficult for older campers and felt quite intimidating considering the early autumn nights. Sadly we had no other contact with the staff as they didn't make any approach during the week and although the leaflets etc were available no interaction was forthcoming. Not what we have come to expect from the 'friendly club'. We would use the site again purely due to the location and would hope other members have a better experience in the future.

Appysnapper (Club Member) stayed Sep 2015 This review is for Boroughbridge This site is convenient for access from the A1 and ideal for a stop over. It is also ideal for exploring the many attractions of the area such as York, Harrogate, Studley Royal, Castle Howard to name but a few. I have stayed at Boroughbride in the past but have never previously noticed the constant drone of refrigeration units as well as large goods vehicles coming and going at all times of the day and night from the milk distribution centre just across the road from the site, that could be an issue for the light sleeper. The site amenities are very well maintained but dated with the type of showers with push buttons. The site is not lit beyond the amenities block which means it is very dark around the outer edges so make sure you have a torch. There is a flood defence barrier between the block and the rest of the site which is crossed by either a set of stone steps or a long ramp, this makes it unsuitable for anyone with walking difficulties. The setting is pleasantly located next to the river and the close proximity to Boroughbridge and numerous public houses serving food makes up for some of its short comings. There is also a large supermarket within a mile or two of the site. To summarise, provided you have a torch, are reasonably fit and sleep like a log you should be fine here.

Stayed over a weekend in June for the first time with our 2 boys 11 and 8 and will be back again, one of the best c&cc sites we have been to. The site has a small play area for the kids and an area on 'the paddock' for ball games etc. Lovely peaceful site by the river (no direct access though) with regular visits from the ducks. Fish and Chip van visits the site on a tues, thurs and sat evening between 430 and 515 although we didnt get the opportunity to try this time. Boroughbridge is a short drive away or accessible on foot with directions available from reception, we had a lovely sunday lunch at the three horse shoes which was not over priced. Site also ideally located for visiting York and Harrogate. Looking forward to our next visit keep up the good work and thanks for a lovely weekend." - The Soons Family These two luxury holiday lodges are located in a peaceful river bank setting.

Terrific. It's the last one of the set that really gets me, but they're all compelling pictures. I find this sort of "slightly environmental" portraiture really hard to do well, but when it works, it captures something about the subject that's very individual and communicates it really strongly.
I've got a 16-month-old, so I take a lot of "family snapshot" pictures. Far too many of them end up at one extreme or another: "here's a gigantic setting with the boy occupying three grains in the middle of it" or "here's yet another photo of his face with nothing to give it any context". (I'm leaving aside the group that fall into "here's a really terrible picture that I'll keep anyway because it's of him".) The winners are the ones in the middle: "here he is in his natural habitat", as it were.
As mostly a non-portrait shooter (as I once told someone, I don't even really *believe* in other people, so how can I expect my camera to?), I find this hugely challenging. You seem to be hitting the sweet spot pretty well---if I ever shot a set of ~20 photos of which those were the four best, I'd be pretty darned happy with myself for it!

Bruno Mars set to host and perform on 'Saturday Night Live'
As did Britney Spears, Mick Jagger, Jennifer Lopez and Elton John before him, Bruno Mars soon will have the opportunity to both host and perform as musical guest on "Saturday Night Live."
The crooner has been tapped for the Oct. 20 episode, which comes the end of a three-week run of new "SNL" episodes this month. Leading off are previously announced acts Daniel Craig, with countrymen Muse on Oct. 6. Christina Applegate and Passion Pit were also confirmed today, for leading the Oct. 13 NBC broadcast.
Bruno Mars announced just last week that he'd be dropping a new album, "Unorthodox Jukebox," in December; it comes on the heels of his well-received "Doo-Wops & Hooligans." His only acting credit is for 20 years ago, in "Honeymoon in Vegas" as a little Elvis.

Roasted Artichoke Hearts with Potatoes and Olive Oil
Vassilis Stenos
- 12 artichoke hearts from globe artichokes, halved
- 5-6 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 1 Cup extra-virgin Greek olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Juice of 1 large lemon, strained
- Sea salt and pepper, to taste
More Recipes
This is a springtime country dish from the island of Milos in the Cyclades islands.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Arrange an oven rack so that it's about 8 inches from the heat source of the broiler (which you will use later).
In a bowl, toss the artichoke hearts and potatoes with the oil, garlic, lemon juice, and a little sea salt and pepper. Spread out the mixture evenly in a baking pan large enough to hold the vegetables in 1 layer.
Bake for about 1 hour, just until the artichoke hearts and potatoes are tender. Turn off the oven and turn on the broiler. Broil the vegetables so that the artichokes and potatoes become crusty and brown. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

I liked it!
Saying you can't post a movie here if doesn't contain bricks is like saying Yolegoman couldn't post his Mill Falcon MOC because it wasn't animated.
Anything that helps us learn or at the very least entertains us should be welcome.
I assume you posted it here to both share it and get some feedback, so here ya go-
Crawling around on a roof is dangerous enough, but doing it with a mask on is even crazier! And then theres the cameraman who was apparently moving backwards across the roof- insane!
Overall, I liked this movie because-
1- it had good acting, for the most part. It wasn't Shakespeare, but at least both actors seemed to get into their characters. I particularly liked the goblin- he was very funny.
2- Humor- there were two visual gags that had me laughing pretty hard. Nothing earth shaking, but still funny.
3- Pretty darn good camera work. Not perfect, but still pretty good.

Wow, I mean, cool! The fighting was great, and so was the humor.
The ending! 😆 When he wacked the monster's head off and it flew into the basketball hoop, I cracked up! The monster and the camera man must be brave or crazy, climbing all over the roof. And when he jumped off, I thought: He didn't die! Cool.
*End Spoilers*
Hahaha, very good film! The animation was very realistic. (White coats come to haul me off)

Below is a listing of some of the finest houses for sale in Jamaica -I've done all the legwork for you,
For the most part, these listings are posted by local real estate companies & Realtors, who are entrusted to transact business on behalf of developers or other locals.
Of course I need not repeat myself about all the benefits and advantages of acquiring a house in beautiful Jamaica- I already gave a short background on the real estate page.
Admittedly though, the acquisition of a house, in fact any real estate in Jamaica for that matter, is cumbersome and time consuming but it has been getting better, much better.
A knowledgeable and professional adviser on Jamaican real estate would certainly help to speed things up a bit too.
By the way, it appears to me that in many cases the prices posted to foreigners always seems be at a premium so it may not be a bad idea to get background information from a local first. Who knows? you may just make a significant saving!
Needless to say that like with all other transactions involving a significant investments, you still need to do your due diligence.
Please, do your due diligence!
Here are the ones I came up with.

Historical Traveler Reviews SpringHill Suites Anchorage Midtown
Nice Pre-Cruise Stay
We stayed at the SpringHill Suites Anchorage just after a long flight to Anchorage and the day before our cruise. We found it to be comfortable, convenient, and well priced. Room was clean and spacious. Staff was very friendly. No noise! Breakfast was excellent - a step above normal continental breakfasts since it had hot eggs, meat, etc. There was a bus stop right outside the lobby, which we used to get to downtown for some sightseeing before returning to the hotel to meet our shuttle to Whittier. We took a cab back from downtown and it was $10 with tip. There's also an Outback right across the street if you (like us) drag in too tired to make a long trip for dinner.
Anyway, we highly recommend this hotel if you're arranging your pre- or post- cruise trip yourself.
Enjoyed Alaska
We stayed at Springhill Suites after finishing our Alaska Cruise on Princess. Although at first we didn't realize it was a little out of the main part of the town, we became very pleased with it where it was situated. We were close to a good Steak Restaurant & Walmart where we could pick up any items we needed. The hotel itself was excellent, rooms very nice with coffee maker, microwave etc. The staff was friendly & helpful, the breakfast was wonderful. We were able to catch the bus right out the door and for $2.00 we could ride it all over the place for two days. It was actually not far by bus to the main part where we toured around & then we enjoyed the longer ride home via a scenic tour of the City which we loved. The day we left the taxi van which is the best one of get, the first taxi we took was terrible, driver horrid, taxi van to airport was very reasonable and airport which was lovely was quite close. This is the third time we have stayed at Springhill Suites & find them the best bargain possible. The only problem we had was that we were billed twice for the same night & after two calls to them & one letter to the Customer Service, the amount was refunded. Staff was extemely pleasant through this mistake. Many thanks.
Nice stay following arrival in Alaska
Very pleasant and clean upscale facility. We stayed in a room with two full-sized beds and a couch that opened up. They put in a full size rollaway and by careful rearranging of the furniture we fit in the fourth bed (we had two adults and three college-age children). Breakfast was very nice as well. It is only a few miles/km from the airport, and one of our party arrived late, about 3:00 AM. The free hotel shuttle met her promptly and brought her to the motel, even in the middle of the "night."
It is also in a good location -- only minutes by car (or less than a mile by foot) to Carrs supermarket, Sears, Moose Tooth Pizza, and other shopping. While we did not find it cheap, it was reasonably priced and a good value. Note: I did not use the pool, but it looked very small.
Excellent Choice
Stayed at the Springhill Suites early November 2005 an excellent choice guided by reading the reviews on this site. Room was nicely furnished and had everything that I required. The hotel serves a continental breakfast and not a full breakfast (as described by the Marriott representative). There is lots happening in Mid Town Anchorage but having a car does help especially when it was cold. There is a bus stop right outside the hotel and the airport-hotel shuttle saved me a taxi cab fare. Lastly, Anchorage is a typical American city, I was expecting something different but overall staying here made my stay a good one.
Nice reasonable accomodations
I stayed at this hotel on August 12th and again on August 20, 2005. It is in a nice safe location (I saw no concrete buildings anywhere near) right across the street from an Outback restauraunt. A Wal-Mart Super Center is also within walking distance(it has a McDonalds inside) as well as a Pizza Hut and Bar-B-Que. A cab ride to downtown will cost about $10.00 with tip. A movie complex is also located behind the hotel.
The continental breakfast was better than most.
The staff was friendly and courteous and responsive to any concerns. I would not hesitate to stay here again.
Large rooms, nice pool/jacuzzi
We've enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Their rooms are large and comfortable
(two queen beds and a pull-out couch). The place is clean and well maintained.
Breakfast is included in the price of the room which is a bargain (we got a rate of $104 with AAA card). We also enjoyed their pool and jacuzzi, it was nice
and relaxing before our flight home.
Value, Location, and Price plus Breakfast
I live in Anchorage, and in the winter of course, its cold. Since we don't have a swimming pool in the back yard, more and more families are choosing to get away for a night or two and enjoy the pool, hot tub and other amenities that the hotels in the city have to offer. Therefore, our family has stayed in several and toured many other hotels in Anchorage. My daughter recently stayed at this hotel with a group from her church who were having a girls Sunday school party and chose the
Spring Hill Suites.
I was impressed with this hotel. Here are some of the reasons why I choose this hotel as best for the dollar.
Understand that there are several hotels within a 1 mile radius of this one. Nothing right next door in terms of accomdations, but close by. I will speak of winter rates, however. Springhill's rate was $79, Hilton Garden Inn was $99, and the Hilton Hampton Inn was $95 for a January evening, Friday night.
The advantages of staying at the Srpinghill Suites is as follows...
(a) Large rooms. I've looked at Hilton Garden Inn, and the Hampton Inn down the road which are comparable hotels. I believe that the rooms at Spring Hill Suites are nicer, larger, and better laid out. Though there is no "separate room" the existing layout is nicely done and rooms have a small refrigerator and a microwave. Handicapped rooms are available as well. Keyed entry into the hotel and all rooms are secure, inside the hotel. Workout rooms with three or four machines, and vending nearby. Remember, I live here year round. The pool is not facing the front parking lot, as with the other two previously mentioned hotels.
(b) Location. Very short walking distance to Wal-mart, Outback Steakhouse right across the street, the largest movie theatre in town with the only stadium seating in town right next door. Pizza Hut restaurant right next to the Wal-mart. Also, Wal-mart has a McDonald's right inside the store. Furthermore, this hotel is right on the bus line, which will take you downtown or wherever you need to go. The Loussac Library is also 2 blocks up the street, which is the largest library in the city of Anchorage. Someone was doing some incredibly good planning when they located this hotel here. It's not right in the
middle of downtown (3 mi. away) but this hotel is within walking distance of numerous activities and very strategically located. There is also a Wayne's Texas Barbeque on the other side of the road, near Outback Steakhouse that is reasonably priced. All of these restaurants are within easy walking distance of the hotel.
(c) Breakfast. Can't speak to this because I personally didn't eat there, but it sounded good for the dollars.
Anyhow, if you are looking to save money and not rent a car, there is alot to do in this location and a short hop downtown to the malls and tourist attractions by bus. I would strongly recommend this hotel.
The rates rock!
I stayed at the Springhill Suites last night for the very first time, and was impressed with the courteous and friendly staff on duty.
The rooms were very clean and tidy, all with wireless internet at no charge which was a nice perk.
The continental breakfast provided was very decent - everything was lovely and fresh. Anchorage Daily newspaper, Bagels, muffins, fresh bread, carrot cake or zucchini slice. There was fresh fruit, yoghurt, cereals and hot oatmeal, boiled eggs, and a waffle maker - and everything was clean, fresh and very well presented. A variety of coffee, juice or hot chocolate was available also.
All rooms are airconditioned - and believe it or not, you often need to use it as it can get hot and stuffy inside.
We had only two qualms with our stay, and one was that our bed was made really poorly - the sheet on the bottom did not go all the way to the end of the bed, so our feet were on the plain mattress all night which was sort of uncomfortable.
Our other qualm was the price of in-room movies. They are charged at $12.95 per movie, but if you accidently hit ANY button on the remote while watching the movie, it is automatically stopped and cannot be restarted. To continue with the movie you have to pay all over again. This is really stupid! We could not pause the movie, take a toilet break, and made sure to put the remote well out of reach in case it was touched accidentally during the movie.
The extras were at a minimum - soap and shampoo was all that was provided, which was sufficient. The cost of the hotel was really decent at $89 for winter prices! Definitely worth the money, and we could live without our little sewing kit, or body lotion on this trip (these usually end up in the suitcase on the way out the door anyway).
The Springhill Suites is located right next to Century movie theatres, and the reception staff print out the movie schedule daily for customers to look over. Hot tea and coffee is available in all rooms, or in the downstairs lobby at all times.
On site, there is an exercise room and pool. I never understand though why hotels put their exercise and swimming facilities right near the lobby with big glass windows for everyone to look in. I'm a modest person, and would feel uncomfortable using the facilities with everyone looking in.
Overall, well worth the money, nice clean rooms and a great breakfast in the morning - topped off with super friendly helpful cheerful accommodating staff members, all wearning nice big smiles!
Super clean
Stayed here with friends in early July and was very happy with our choice. Nice large clean rooms, with mini-kitchenette. Air -conditioning was great to have because the weather was very hot. We just came off a cruise , and did not want to eat out and the front desk was nice enough to let us use the breakfast room to set up some take out food we got. They also had free internet. They served a very large breakfast in the morning that saved us alot of time & money. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!!!
Yey or Nay on Springhill Suites? -- Yey!
I decided to spend the night at a hotel with 5 of my friends. My friend previously spent the night at Springhill Suites and recommended it with me. It was great! There was an indoor pool, small jaccuzi, spaceful rooms, and FRIENDLY staff! It was so relaxing. Whenever you had questions or comments, the staff was there for you! The breakfast was delicious. It was very convenient to be close by Century 12 Theatres and First Bank of Alaska. Every cent paid at this hotel was worth it! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SPRINGHILL SUITES!

Sea Cay -- Great catch! If I remember my Shakespeare correctly, Roderigo not only fails in his attempt to kill Cassio, he is in turn killed by Iago to silence him. In the crossword I knew they were looking for a character in Othello and the answer became apparent after getting a few crossing words. It only occurred to me after I saw your note that the clue was incorrect. Way to go!
I agree with Anonymous2. Well put.
Did anyone else notice the error in this puzzle? 69 Down asks for "the lieutenant killed by Iago". The answer in the puzzle is Cassio. But Cassio was NOT killed by Iago. Iago persuades Roderigo to attempt to kill Cassio, but Roderigo fails. Cassio is around and alive at the end of the play.
I used to like this commentary because it was so civilized. I no longer think that.

Imation Pro WX wireless USB hard drive
Memeo backup software for PC, lets you lose the backup from your desk
Only one computer can connect at a time, slow transfer rates, noisy
The Imation Pro WX is a wireless USB drive hard that allows you to backup your data to a 1.5TB drive wirelessly and therefore leave your desk a little less cluttered. Big and noisy, the drive has a 25 foot range and connects to your laptop as a one-to-one connection rather than over your regular wireless network.
The drive itself is simple in its design. It's big, it's black and white, and comes with a chrome stand that pops-out when needed. The front sports a white panel, power switch that pulses like the Apple MacBook notebooks and an instant backup button to let you do just that. Beneath this there is a light that lets you see quickly how much space you've used via four bars (1 for 30%, 2 for 60%, 3 for 90% and 4 for 95%).
The back is equally plain (it is a hard drive after all). It features a directional aerial to help you with that signal if you need it, a USB 2.0 cable socket for a hard line connection and a power socket. Just like virtually every other hard drive on the market the design is boxy and boring.
Connecting to your PC or Mac either involves you having Wireless USB already fitted or plugging in the dongle included in the box that is still fairly large. Think the largest USB thumb drive you've ever seen and then double it. It really is that big.
Connect it to your computer and that's it you are ready to start transferring your files from one to the other on the network it has created.
While Mac software is pretty thin on the ground, Windows users will get Memeo Instant Backup software that will instantly backup new or changed files every time your Imation Pro WX wireless USB hard drive is reconnected. The software is simple but effective.
While a hard line connection will get you a theoretical 60MBps transfer rates, the Imation Pro WX will quarter that and give you just 15MBps for the priviledge of ditching a hard drive on your desk or wherever in the home you happen to be.
Put that in to real terms and that means that you'll be able to transfer a 2GB file to the hard drive in just over 2 minutes. Compare this to a NAS drive over a wireless g connection and its considerably faster (it took us almost 5 minutes to transfer the same file to a Time Capsule connected to our Wireless router).
Where do I sign up then? Not so fast. While the drive is faster than saving it out to a NAS drive on your network, only you can see that information meaning you won't be able to share it with anyone else unless they've got the dongle plugged in. And before you think about the possibility of buying a dongle for each and every one of your computers, don't. While you can connect up to two dongles to the drive you can only connect one at a time.
Then there is the sheer fact that it's slower than having a physical drive connected to your notebook. While we can see that this could be a problem if you're a couch potato, it's not really going to make that much of a difference to your desk use. After all that, the "one press" button for backing up becomes irrelevant if it's hidden in a cupboard somewhere.
The Imation Pro WX is a one of those products where someone approved it not because there was a need, but because they could.
The only reason we could see this being of use is if you are in a one man office working on your own. The problem with that though is that if you are in this "one man" office you'll not really mind a 1.5TB hard drive sitting on or under your desk doing the same task for a fraction of the price.
Yes we believe in a clutter-free desk, but at $450 we expect better performance and more options.

IPF is the relative number of immature platelets (also called reticulated platelets) in the blood. Platelets are produced in the bone marrow and are normally not released into the bloodstream until they have matured. When platelet numbers in the blood are low (thrombocytopenia), it stimulates the bone marrow to produce platelets faster. When the need is great and when production cannot keep up with "demand," then an increased number of immature platelets will be released into the bloodstream.
This IPF test result would be one of the values reported when blood is evaluated using an automated hematology analyzer. The IPF may be used to help a healthcare provider determine the likely cause of a person's thrombocytopenia, that is, decrease in production by the bone marrow (IPF is low) versus increased loss of platelets in the blood (IPF is higher). IPF can also help determine if a person needs a platelet transfusion and help monitor bone marrow recovery, such as after a bone marrow transplant. Other uses are being studied and the test's ultimate clinical utility has not yet been well determined.
^ Back to top
The hemoglobin inside of reticulocytes can be measured and reported as either a mean reticulocyte hemoglobin content (CHr) or a reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent (Ret-He), depending upon the test method used. This test result would be one of the values reported when blood is evaluated using an automated hematology analyzer.
Reticulocytes are "young" red blood cells that are released by the bone marrow before they become fully mature. The amount of hemoglobin inside of reticulocytes can help determine if there has been enough iron available, to be incorporated into hemoglobin production and then into red blood cell production in the bone marrow, within the past few days. This makes the test useful in identifying functional iron deficiency in certain clinical conditions and in assessing iron deficiency anemia in children.
Some automated hematology analyzers report the total number of immature granulocytes (IG) present in a person's blood sample. Immature granulocytes are white blood cells that have not fully developed before being released from the bone marrow into the blood. They may include metamyelocytes, myelocytes, and promyelocytes. These cells are normally only present in the bone marrow because they are precursors of neutrophils, the predominant type of white cells in blood. The presence of immature granulocytes in the blood may occur in various diseases, such as infection or a blood cancer, and thus will often prompt further investigation, which may include additional laboratory testing.
People who have a keen interest in their own health care frequently want to know what they can do to change their WBCs, RBCs, and platelets. Unlike "good" and "bad" cholesterol, cell populations are not generally affected by lifestyle changes unless the individual has an underlying deficiency (such as vitamin B12 or folate deficiency or iron deficiency). There is no way that a person can directly raise the number of his WBCs or change the size or shape of his RBCs. Addressing any underlying diseases or conditions and following a healthy lifestyle will help optimize your body's cell production, and your body will take care of the rest.
It depends on the results that are abnormal and the suspected cause as well as your medical history and findings from your physical examination. Your healthcare provider may request that a blood smear examination be done. Other general tests to check your health and to look for possible causes may include a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP). A few other general examples include:
• Abnormal results for WBCs may be followed by a culture of the affected area (e.g., blood culture, urine culture, sputum culture), a strep test or tests for viruses such as mononucleosis or EBV. If inflammation is suspected, then a CRP or ESR test may be done.
• Abnormal RBC results may prompt a reticulocyte count, iron studies, tests for vitamin B12 and folate, G6PD, or hemoglobinopathy evaluation to help make a diagnosis.
• An abnormal platelet count may be followed by tests that further evaluate platelets, such as platelet function tests or HIT antibody. Additional tests may be done to check for bleeding disorders or excessive clotting disorders such as PT, PTT, von Willebrand factor or coagulation factors.
When a serious condition such as leukemia, myelodysplasia or another bone marrow disorder is suspected, then a bone marrow biopsy and examination may be necessary. Numerous other tests specific for certain conditions may be needed to establish a diagnosis. Talk to your healthcare provider about the results of your CBC, whether additional tests are necessary, and why.

Brazil's Straw Hat project helps women leave abusive situations
A look at Switzerland's entrenched gun culture
26 Aug 2010 10:43 GMT | Sport, Italy
Zlatan Ibrahimovic could end his disappointing spell at Barcelona with a return to Italy with AC Milan – but probably not before the start of the Serie A season.
The Swede failed to reach the heights he achieved at Milan rivals Inter when he joined the Spanish champions in a deal that saw Samuel Eto'o – and $66 million – go the other way last year.
Eto'o went on to win a stunning treble of Serie A, Italian Cup and European Champions League with Inter while Ibrahimovic failed to nail down a steady place as Barca retained their league title.
Milan's poor pre-season has led them to strengthen their front line and they are hoping to bag the Swede on a two-year loan.
But Barca appear to want to sell, and any deal may be made after Sunday's Serie A opener at home to promoted Lecce.
Milan, third last term, have struggled for goals in warm-up matches under new coach Massimiliano Allegri.
Chief executive Adriano Galliani, who watched Wednesday's defeat on penalties in a friendly with Barca, has stayed on in the city.
"I'm trying and that's why I am here, I will not move, even if it means not going to Milan against Lecce on Sunday," Galliani told Milan's TV channel.
"I will do all that is in my ability to try to bring this great champion to Milan. It is very difficult."
If a deal is not done in time then Marco Borriello is set to lead the line.
Adriano out
Roma, runners-up last term, start their campaign at home to promoted Cesena on Saturday but main new signing Adriano is likely to miss the early weeks of the season with a muscle problem after the club said he had gone for tests.
Juventus and a raft of new buys visit Bari in Sunday's early game with the rest of the day's programme in the evening rather than the traditional afternoon because of the heat.
A dismal seventh last season, Juve on Thursday failed to wrap up a deal for Udinese striker Antonio Di Natale, while Juve flop Diego was having a medical at Wolfsburg after just one season in Italy.
David Trezeguet could also be on the verge of leaving the club.
Di Natale, last season's Serie A top-scorer, opted to stay with mid-table Udinese.
"The player...has confirmed his wish to stay in Udine. Udinese are very satisfied by the decision taken by our captain and consider the issue closed," his club said on their website.
Champions Inter Milan are not in league action until Monday at Bologna because they face Atletico Madrid in Friday's European Super Cup.
Benitez rotates
New coach Rafael Benitez, who made a confident start to replacing treble winner Jose Mourinho by clinching last weekend's Italian Super Cup against Roma, could well rotate his side slightly given the two games come so close.
The new Serie A season offers several innovations including television cameras in the dressing room before kickoff and the use of electronic cards for fans to enter matches.
The new cards are unpopular with fans who feel the government's effort to track hooligans is too draconian and minor violence has flared during supporter protests.

Are you working out day after day on your own and not seeing great results? Are you working with a trainer who seems to be kicking your butt, yet you're not seeing the progress you like? Well I'm here to tell you it's not just about the workout. If you're not changing your eating habits then you're not going to see the results you really want long term. I still see trainers give their clients a great workout and then send them on their way and never mention nutrition or educate them or ask what they are eating on the outside. That's like a car salesman selling you a car without an engine. Without the right stuff going on under the hood and without the right fuel you will not see great results. If you or your trainer are not focusing on nutrition at some point you will fail! Not because you can't do it! But because you are not applying the successful fat loss strategy…….which is proper nutrition in balance with proper exercise.
Maybe proper nutrition is the missing piece of the puzzle you have been looking for……
Like I always say "Any Trainer will give you a workout" "But will they give you RESULTS?"

We see the "Eat Fresh " Subway commercials. We see good old "Jarrod" reminding us how he lost hundreds of pounds eating Subway sandwiches. We see Subway religiously plugged on "The Biggest Loser" television show. So Subway must be a healthy choice right? Maybe and maybe not………
I won't even get into my beef with "The Biggest Loser" televsion show and how they plug foods of companies that sponsor the show……..think they are trying to help YOU at home to eat healthy? Think again…
I would agree there is definitely some low fat choices at Subway, and some healthier alternatives to fast food burgers and fries. But if you think you are getting natural breads and meats..then think again!
The meat and cheese is processed and loaded with sodium to keep it from going bad.
But the bread is "fresh" and must be OK right?
Even the healthiest choice of bread isn't good for you…….the wheat bread is not "whole wheat" it's processed enriched bread that contains high fructose corn syrup. FOR A BREAD TO BE 100% WHOLE WHEAT IT MUST BE THE FIRST INGREDIANT" and not contain the words enriched wheat flour.
But David! They have come up with the "new" 9 Grain wheat bread!
Yes they have… but look at the ingrediants is it really any different?
SUBWAY-9-GRAIN WHEAT BREAD- Enriched wheat flour (wheat flour, barley malt, niacin, iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), water, yeast, high fructose corn syrup, whole wheat flour, wheat gluten, contains 2% or less of the following: oat fiber, soybean oil, salt, wheat bran, rolled wheat, rye nuggets, dough conditioners (DATEM, sodium stearoyl lactylate), yeast nutrients (calcium sulfate, ammonium sulfate), degermed yellow corn meal, rolled oats, rye flakes, caramel color, triticale flakes, parboiled brown rice, refinery syrup, honey, barley flakes, flaxseed, millet, sorghum flour. Contains wheat.
YIKES and this is supposed to be the healthy bread!
Lets take a look at the white/Italian bread:
ITALIAN (WHITE) BREAD Enriched flour (wheat flour, barley malt, niacin, iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), water, sugar, contains less than 2% of the following: soybean oil, yeast, salt, wheat protein isolate, wheat gluten, dough conditioners (acetylated tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides, ammonium sulfate, calcium sulfate, ascorbic acid, azodicarbonamide, potassium iodate, amylase [enzymes]), sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate, mineral oil. Contains soy and wheat.
Just remember if a food is not natural and is processed….not to mention has a long list of ingrediants it has little to no thermic effect (your body burns nothing digesting it) and it has a better chance of being stored than being used for fuel.
Add in a diet pop and some chips….you just consumed a meal that will not aid your body in burning fat but actually storing it.
My best suggestion make your own sandwich at home with 100% Whole wheat bread and real meats and know what your actually eating…..don't take anyone elses word on it espically a large food chains.

-Top 5 new years resolution mistakes-
1) Going on a fad diet
2) Buying a infomercial product to spot reduce a body part
3) Believing a weight loss drug or supplement will be the solution
4) Using cardio/aerobic as your only form of exercise
5) Trying to reach your New years fitness and nutrition goals on your own.

Ahhhh Christmas is coming and so is the food…….and we can't forget New Year's Eve dinner and drinks and also New Years day football and food…….
With all the big meals and gatherings coming up in the next 2 weeks it will be easy to make the wrong food choices and put on some extra holidays pounds.
That is why I created 10 page e-book all about preventing the Holiday weight gain entitled "The Healthy Holiday Eating Guide". You can download this great ebook for FREE here:

You can't really miss it on the Internet these days. Seems like everywhere you look there's another company promoting the nutritious Acai Berry as a weight loss miracle.
And that's why I thought it was critical to write you today. I want to make sure you know my opinion on the subject.
First, you know better than to believe you're going to pop some pills – ANY pills – and have the pounds and inches melt off like magic. If you've been listening to me for any length of time you know true fat loss comes from a variety of factors, including exercise and proper nutrition.
I received and e-mail today that said: "Busy mom loses 30 pounds in 30 days without diet OR exercise"
Sound to good to be true? Well it is! Anyone losing 30 pounds in 30 days is losing lots of water and probably some muscle.
Second, any fitness expert worth their fees will tell you that any diet that promotes you eat any one food all day long and then eat a sensible dinner, well, don't bother. Yes, you will lose some weight short-term, but as soon as you go back to your old eating habits – and you know you will – you know exactly what happens.
Third, the Acai Berry contains VERY powerful antioxidants and it is getting a lot of good press for that very reason. Yes, antioxidants as in the extraordinary nutrients that help fight the free radicals associated with aging, cancer risk and other degenerative diseases.
And while on the subject, I wanted to fill you in on something that has recently come to light. Did you know that coffee berries (the berry that covers the coffee bean) is one of the most powerful antioxidants on the planet? It's something researchers have discovered in recent years.
What's really cool is my friends at Prograde Nutrition have just created an amazing Whole Foods based Anti-Aging formula called Prograde Longevity that includes both Acai Berry and Coffee Berry. Oh, and it also utilizes Green Tea, Pomegranate, Wolf Berry and Biovin Grape (Red Wine extract.)
Just to give you an idea of how powerful this formula is, well, you'd have to eat an entire POUND of raspberries to get the same ORAC value. And in case you're not familiar with the term, ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity.
I have been taking "Longevity" for the last month to prevent the holiday flu and cold bugs…..and to cleanse my body.
So far so good!

On Monday we talked about how skipping breakfast can destroy your fat loss goals.
So what are some good examples of a good balanced breakfast?
(Supportive Breakfast #1)
-1 cup of oatmeal with raisins
-Scrambled eggs (4 whites and one whole egg)
(Supportive Breakfast #2)
-1 cup of lowfat cottage cheese mixed with 1 cup of natural strawberry yogurt, add in some real strawberries.
(Supportive Breakfast #3)
-Protein pancakes- made with oatmeal, natural applesauce, cinnamon, and egg whites (email me for the full recipe).
*The goal of a supportive breakfast is eating it within 60 minutes upon rising and eating a balanced combo of lean protein, low glycemic carbs, and some fruits and veggies.

Oprah has made the official announcement. She is back over 200 lbs. I watch her show quite frequently and it has become very noticeable that her weight has once again dramatically increased since her 2006 weight of 160. Her current weight and body fat percentage would put her in the obese category and at put her at a much greater risk for heart disease, high blood pressure and cholesterol and diabetes.
She writes in her new January O magazine that "She has fallen off the wagon," that "I am very mad at myself," and "I'm embarrassed."
1. I would have her STOP making excuses and take some responsibility for her actions. She also likes to blame her thyroid condition. She at one time admitted that once she was diagnosed she was afraid to exercise and ate whatever she wanted. Admitting that it is her actions that got her to where she is and not someone else or something else in her body. I am not saying the slow thyroid isn't a real issue with someone and it can make it hard to lose weight, but there is still a lot of things Oprah could and should be doing to combat the fat.
2. I would take her off the long slow boring cardio routine. From what I have seen and hear, she tries to walk for 30-60 minutes a day (when she was exercising). I would have Oprah doing shorter more intense cardio sessions and have her do some incline speed walking or running. This would stimulate her metabolism and also be a shock to her system to burn more fat.
3. I would have her doing at least 3-4 days a week of high intensity circuit training with weights. Thirty minutes of total body resistance training with heavier weights will be more efficient for her and will shift her body into a fat burning mode. From this circuit training she would also tone the muscles and create feminine shapes.
4. I would have Oprah eating supportive meals every 3 hours six days a week and allow a one day a week reward day where there are no rules and she can eat whatever she wants. She will feel so lousy after over indulging reward day, that she won't want to eat that junk for another week.
5. Lastly, I would have Oprah reexamine her goals and what she really wants from her life. This will remind her WHY she wants to lose weight and how her life would be different because of it. I would have her understand about how bad and uncomfortable her life would be if she continues to gain weight. I would have her see how much different her life could be if she lost 50 lbs.
Well there it is! My 5 Ways to get Oprah back to her to a healthy weight.
These 5 steps will work for anyone looking to lose fat and keep it off for good!
